  • Patent number: 9960510
    Abstract: A male connector includes a housing fixed to a base, a holding unit supported in such a manner as to enable displacement with respect to the housing; and an elastically deformable male terminal held by the holding unit. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal undeformed and apart from the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal elastically deformed and contacting the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the non-temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base.

  • Publication number: 20180040985
    Abstract: Provided are a connector member and a connector that suppress breakage due to butting, pressing in a fitting direction. In the connector, a first connector member having a first housing is fitted with a second connector member having a second housing and a supporting member having a cylindrical shape that supports the second housing. The second housing has a pair of shaft pins formed at positions opposed to each other on the supporting member side. The supporting member has a support claw including a pair of claw pieces that are elastically deformable and hold each of the shaft pins. After the first connector member and the second connector member are fitted together, when a pressure is applied thereto in a fitting direction, the shaft pins are moved to cause the claw pieces of the support claw to elastically deform, causing the shaft pins to detach from the support claw.
